Description

The communities of Exshaw and Lac Des Arcs are located in the Bow River Valley corridor within the Rocky Mountains. Several industrial facilities (Lafarge cement plant, Graymont lime plant and Baymag magnesium plant), operate in the area. The Francis Cooke landfill is also located in the valley, which accepts construction and dry waste. Other anthropogenic emissions (i.e., traffic from Highways 1 and 1A) also contribute to air quality in the area.
